	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Thomas Becket
		Thomas was born of parents who, coming from Normandy, had settled in England some years previously.
		He took "Thomas of London", as Becket was then most commonly called, for his chancellor, and in that office Thomas at the age of thirty-six became, with the possible exception of the justiciar, the most powerful subject in Henry's wide dominions.
		Thomas seems all along to have suspected Henry of a design to strike at the independence of what the king regarded as a too powerful Church.

	Thomas Becket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thomas Becket was born in London sometime between 1115 and 1120, though most authorities agree that he was born December 21, 1118, at Cheapside, to Gilbert of Thierceville, Normandy, and Rosea or Matilda of Caen.
		Young Thomas was devoted to his master's interests with such a firm and yet diplomatic thoroughness that scarcely anyone, except perhaps John of Salisbury, doubted his allegiance to English royalty.
		In late 2005, Thomas Becket was selected as one of the ten "Worst Britons," in a poll by the BBC History Magazine.

		Thomas, now forty-four years old, rode to Canterbury and was first ordained priest by Walter, bishop of Rochester, and then on the octave of Pentecost was consecrated archbishop by the bishop of Winchester.

		He maintained that a priest accused of murder be tried under the religious courts rather than the royal, despite King Henry II's insistence to the contrary.

	The Honor of Thomas Beckett (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		At its core there is an intimate buddy story buried in Tim Erickson's The Honor of Thomas Becket.
		Erickson, whose script was freely inspired by Jean Anouilh's Becket, ou L'Honneur de Dieu, T.S. Elliot's Murder in the Cathedral, and various historical documents, attempted to give a "warts and all" point of view to the friendship and love between the protagonists, the saintly Thomas Becket, and the less-than godlike Henry II of England.
		But his meandering and flabby adaptation betrayed its multiple origins, and the potentially riveting central story gets lost in a quagmire of confusing historical detail and an excess of uninteresting characters.
